Play 8-Bit Elizabeth Bennett in New Endless Runner ‘Stride and Prejudice’

Play as an adorably pixelated Elizabeth Bennett as you run across the text of Pride and Prejudice in this endless runner for iOs.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that adding Jane Austen to anything makes it better, and the usually-edu game developers at No Crusts Interactive must agree. In their new releaseStride and Prejudice, the full text of Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice forms the platforms and challenges for an endless runner.

No need to get your petticoats six inches deep in mud, just tap to hop and then let Lizzie run along the text. Set the speed for a challenging game, or slow it down to read the book while playing. And of course, you can bookmark your game to pick up right where you left off next time.

While hopping from phrase to phrase isn’t the optimal setting for reading the adventures of the Bennett sisters, any fans of Temple Run, Subway Surfer and other endless runners will love the Austen twist on solid running and jumping game mechanics.
